2009 - And DJ Still Has To Work!

[debris4spike]

I think he thought that as he did some work last year he could have this year off - No such luck!

When we came in this morning he reminded me of the first time that I saw him.  The ground was rutted and frozen so he stumbled a few times - the first time I saw him he was about 3 hours old and he was trying to follow his mum across a muddy field where we were leading her to a box for them both (he was an unexpected foal, for those who didn't know).

Once in I tacked him up ... without his ear-muffs and Toni got Smudge and we went up to the farm and back.  We had to be pretty careful as there was still ice on the road - but managed to get them out OK.

Once back, DJ had some hay, another carrot and a feed, before going back to his field to grumble to Conrad about how hard life really is!!

eeep Poor DJ! *pets him from a safe distance with a pole* Sorry, their eyes scare me......

Oh you'd be OK with this baby then - his forelock is quite long at present - so he peers out at people!

Take carrots on the pole and he won't care!

DJ had a nice long holiday. Time to get back to work.

.... And he thought you were a friend!

His Aussie cousin thinks work is a dirty four lettered word.

Sends DJ some more carrots, because Dessie doesn't need the whole bag :)

DJ and Dessie both .... another 4 letter word is DIET ... but his is happening due to the weather at the moment!

He is pleased with the extra carrots ... and promises to return the favour when needed.
